Play neave

 

I like him but he's not premier League.

 

Like zirkzee. Too slow. Too casual. Skilled without a doubt. 

 

Actually on reflection I think it's not helped by our side having no clue in possession

If anything this performance vindicates the manager's decision not to play him - he should be dictating the game in a free role, but he's slower than Ian Rush when he played for us.

Maybe if he got to play more in the PL, he'd adapt to the PL?

His first game in a while yet people on here straight on his back, his weight of pass was perfect for Osula yet some saying poor pass.

 

Give the lad a chance...

Giving the ball away far too often. Don't think it's all down to him because there's such a horrible lack of quality in the forward positions around him, but he wasn't great in that first half.

I don't think he's been terrible but it's madness how much of a stick Woltemade is to beat Howe with. He's very flawed.

Think he stood out like a sore thumb that half tbh. Back to goal especially his ball retention was poor. Do think it'll come though, the talent and desire is there.

This guy plays for fouls, wants to many touches, appreciate the press despite his speed but not the on field character I want. 
 

Props for the pass to Osula, mind. 
 

Get rid and get someone who wants to score. Nick wants fouls.

I don't see that at all, I just seen people constantly getting on Woltemades back, don't see others in the team getting anywhere near the criticism he gets.

It’s a worry that you don’t see it at all.

He said in an early interview that he found it difficult to go down a bit easier when fouled. It wasn't in his character (there or thereabouts). Maybe he's being told to play to tactics that don't suit his game.

I’d try to sell him in the summer. I’m sure he can be good for someone but not for Eddie Howe’s Newcastle United and probably not for anyone else in the PL tbh

A valid point. Germany may be only a decent side but they have a warrior mentality that a far superior squad of English men 'sadly' don't have.

I think you would have to be a huge talent to make it as a premier league striker these days with his lack of pace and strength.

There you have it. System changed to suit him, we played pretty well but he was unable to get on the ball much and when he did he was shite most of the time. One good ball to Osula aside he had a stinker

The fact that this team can’t score goals makes it easy to judge him as well, mind.  It’s his job.
